I remember hours upon hours of walking in London, and the long days in early June just gave us more hours for walking. I do think it is the best way to see a place, and we have spent hours walking London, Paris, Madrid and Lisbon so I am savoring your trip-talk. <br /><br />It is nice to have someone to blame sometimes though. The tea sounds lovely and a treat savored all the more with the walking and relaxation of vacation.

Plus that lovely strong Builder's Tea and the price is right, no? And just seems so central that it's easy enough to pop in there and have a chance to view a favourite portrait or two . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-45429283540889242792010-06-21T02:48:42.241-07:002010-06-21T02:48:42.241-07:00You probably saw more of London than the locals ev...You probably saw more of London than the locals ever do!<br />Lovely to see you both, have a fantastic time in Portugal I will rack my brains for a good cream teas place as I promise you the NG is not that good!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-8038781319138956472010-06-20T15:02:55.856-07:002010-06-20T15:02:55.856-07:00Oh dear, I did laugh at the 'eventually, speak...Oh dear, I did laugh at the 'eventually, speaking to each other again ...'. Somehow, NOT being able to blame the other person can just make it worse. And you're right, this will become (it is becoming already) an excellent story!

Actually, to be fair to Pater, which I should be in deference to his charming vision, the navigation error was as much mine as his -- I just dearly wanted to be able to blame someone for it!<br />Miss C: I can imagine! <br />Hostess: It's our favourite way of learning a city!<br />Araminta: the trouble wasn't so much knowing where we were going as it was knowing where we were -- I hesitate to tell anyone where we'd imaginatively situated the Tate Britain, but it's nowhere near the Tube Station we actually got off at. . . <br />Megan: I've passed your message along and he's smiling. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-76779980604033771882010-06-20T11:53:09.100-07:002010-06-20T11:53:09.100-07:00hey mom!
